2013 The Nines

100% Grenache

(97pts-WineAdvocate)

''The best vintage of this cuvee to date, the 2013 The Nines is one of the top 100% Grenache cuvees out there. Brought up in a combination of 500-liter puncheons and concrete eggs, its ruby color is followed by a rich, powerful, yet elegant Grenache that has textbook notes of kirsch liqueur, blackberries, herbes de Provence, licorice and pepper. Voluptuous, full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with no hard edges, fine, fine tannin and a blockbuster finish, it's already hard to resist, yet will cruise in the cellar through 2023.''
